DESCRIPTION OF RELATED ART

With the emergence of smart phones in recent years, the demand for miniature camera lens is increasing day by day, but the photosensitive devices of general camera lens are no other than Charge Coupled Device (CCD) or Complementary metal-Oxide Semiconductor Sensor (CMOS sensor), and as the progress of the semiconductor manufacturing technology makes the pixel size of the photosensitive devices shrink, coupled with the current development trend of electronic products being that their functions should be better and their shape should be thin and small, miniature camera lens with good imaging quality therefor has become a mainstream in the market. In order to obtain better imaging quality, the lens that is traditionally equipped in mobile phone cameras adopts a three-piece or four-piece lens structure. And, with the development of technology and the increase of the diverse demands of users, and under this circumstances that the pixel area of photosensitive devices is shrinking steadily and the requirement of the system for the imaging quality is improving constantly, the five-piece, six-piece and seven-piece lens structure gradually appear in lens design. There is an urgent need for ultra-thin wide-angle camera lenses which have good optical characteristics and the chromatic aberration of which is fully corrected.
